ORA-01843: not a valid month

Hi
I get the following error message intermittently.
===> ORA-01843: not a valid month
The problem is only intermittent! Which makes this more difficult to solve !
Ideas please ?
The piece of problematic ProC code is given below -
===
if(nForUpdate)
EXEC SQL SELECT * into :dbtbl:dbind FROM MYTABLE
WHERE my_time = :dbtbl.my_time
AND myf_id = :dbtbl.myf_id
AND myl_id = :dbtbl.myl_id
AND myw_id = :dbtbl.myw_id
FOR UPDATE;
else
EXEC SQL SELECT * into :dbtbl:dbind FROM MYTABLE
WHERE my_time = :dbtbl.my_time
AND myf_id = :dbtbl.myf_id
AND myl_id = :dbtbl.myl_id
AND myw_id = :dbtbl.myw_id;
Raja

So what kind of error handling to you have in place to log the error messages and related diagnostic information?
This error usually happens when we have a character variable holding dates as strings, with the inevitable corruption of invalid dates being amongst those strings.
If you say it isn't data in the table and the input parameter :dbtbl.my_time always contains a date, then the only possible explanation is that Red Lectroids are corrupting your database with their alien 8th Dimension calendar....

[PL/SQL Error] ORA-01843: not a valid month, not sure how to troubleshoot

Trying to use PL/SQL to automatically create a report that show the following:

Also, I'm not doing anything with months, so I am suprised that it is throwing this type of error.
thanks

I tested a snippet of code in my production environment, just to see if I would get any results:
--registered users weekly starts
select count(*), trunc(next_day(sysdate-1, 'SUNDAY')-7), trunc(sysdate-1)
     --into v_weekly_count_total_ru, v_weekly_start_date, v_weekly_end_date
          from entities
               where list_id = 3290
               and participation_code_id = 10
               and trunc(participation_date)
               between trunc(next_day(sysdate-1, 'SUNDAY')-7) and trunc(sysdate-1);

1     09/10/2006 00:00:00     09/11/2006 00:00:00I did a double check in my test DB to make sure there is data there:
select count(*)
     from entities
          where trunc(participation_date)
          between to_date('01-08-2006','DD-MM-YYYY')
          and to_date('14-08-2006','DD-MM-YYYY')
          and list_id = 3290;
COUNT(*)
11So I'm pretty sure that I'm not pulling anything null.
thanks

Oracle error "ORA-01843: not a valid month" when trying to run sqlldr

Hi all,
I'm trying to load some data into a staging database via a CSV file using sqlldr, and am running into an issue where it doesn't like the date format I'm using.
Here is my input data:
2012-01-09 16:28:12 -05:00Here is the entry in the .ctl file:
created TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE 'yyyy-mm-dd HH24:MI:SS TZR'And finally, here is the entry in the .sql file:
created TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONEAfter I try to load, I get greeted with the dreaded error message: Record 1: Rejected - Error on table WTPART, column CREATED. ORA-01843: not a valid month
I'm really confused as to why it's blowing up on the date, because it seems to me that "01" is indeed a valid date in terms of the date format I'm using. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hmmm, not sure exactly what the problem is. It works fine for me on my XE instance.

Need help in understanding the error ORA-01843: not a valid month - ECX_ACT

Hello All,
We need help in understanding the Transaction Monitor -> Processing Message (error "ORA-01843: not a valid month - ECX_ACTIONS.GET_CONVERTED_DATE").
And how to enable the log for Transaction Monitor -> Processing Logfile.
Actually we are trying to import the Purchase Order XML (OAG) into eBusiness Suite via BPEL Process Manager using the Oracle Applications Adapter. The process is working fine with expected payload until it reaches the XML Gateway Transaction Monitor, where we are getting this error.
thanks

Real Scenario is:
The user "DANISH.LOTFY" is login into application and when he click on Payslip to the month then he is always getting the above error.
For testing purpose we have removed his employee assignment from user screen(fnd_user) and assigned some other employee name (say MOHAMED.ELBAHY)... After this when DANISH.LOTFY logins into the application and payslip page is working fine...(He can able to see MOHAMED.ELBAHY payslip.....

Post the ddl for the source table.
Also do a test. Create a table that is a clone of the MV table. Then try to do an INSERT INTO SELECT * FROM the source table into the clone table and see if you get an error.
Don't forget to post the 4 digit Oracle versions of the source and target databases.

The database error text is: ORA-01843: not a valid month

I am trying to use a date field as a query filter and I keep getting the
following error:
A database error occurred. The database error text is: ORA-01843: not a
valid month. (WIS 10901).
When I remove the query filter and run the query it works as
expected. I want to be able to allow the users to use the date field in order
to select a date range. Can someone provide me with some information on how to
resolve this issue.

ORA-01843: not a valid month . Receive this error when running report in reporting services but not when running query in BIDS

sql server 2008 r2
RS2008 r2
I can execute the query in BIDS 2008 with out a problem and I can run on our RS2005 server without a problem
But when I deploy report and run on our RS2008 server I get the error
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Query execution failed for dataset 'NIR'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
ORA-01843: not a valid month
QUERY:
select * from NIR_QUARTERLY where birth_date between :PARAM1 and :PARAM2
order by PT_CODE

CAUSE
The problem is caused by not using VALID dates values in the dataset.
- This data problem was masked in the original version as the Predicate(s) used can change between versions of Oracle
- Oracle does *not* guarantee the same explain plan or the specific order of predicates used between versions of Oracle
Reviewing the EXPLAIN PLAN for both versions revealed in this case:
1) The table was partitioned
2) The EXPLAIN PLANS were not the same due to how the partitions were accessed
3) If the same query was used against a non-partitioned table using the same data, the following error would always occur
ORA-01843: not a valid month
4) The problem string value was in this case found to include the string value of '0000-00-00'
The ORA-01843 occurred when using the TO_DATE function against '0000-00-00'
There is *no* Year= '0000' Month= '00' or day = '00' -- therefore the ORA-01843: not a valid month

Getting Ora 01843 not a Valid month Error

Hi
I was trying to assign the data in MM/DD/YY format
from a date value '09/25/2009'..
I cannot Obain the result i always get this
ORA-01843: not a valid month
May i ask you kindly to help me out here.
Below is the code Snippet;
DECLARE
lv_date DATE;
BEGIN
lv_date := '09/25/2009';
BEGIN
lv_date:= TO_DATE(lv_date,'MM/DD/YY');
lv_date:= TO_CHAR(lv_date,'MM/DD/YY');
-- I slso tried this way but same error.
-- lv_date := TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(lv_date,'MM/DD/YYYY'),'MM/DD/YY');
END;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('the date format is = '|| lv_date);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Err from MainBlock '|| SQLCODE || SQLERRM);
END;

Hi,
1)
lv_date := '09/25/2009';lv_date is a variable of datatype date, but you are assigning a varchar, which Oracle is not able to do implicit conversion because of nls_date_format
change to something like to_date('09/25/2009','mm/dd/yyyy')
2)
lv_date:= TO_DATE(lv_date,'MM/DD/YY');
lv_date:= TO_CHAR(lv_date,'MM/DD/YY');Why would be assinging a char value to date datatype. Use any one depending on datatype of lv_date

SQL execution error, ORA-01843: not a valid month

Im using ASP/VBScript and its my first time starting to use Oracle as a DB provider.
Just having an issue with a statement that I have.
Heres my statement:
SELECT T592_NOON.SHIP_CODE, T592_NOON.REPORT_DATE, T592_NOON.L_B, T592_NOON.AVERAGE_SPEED, T592_NOON.SEASTATE, T592_NOON.DISTANCE, T592_NOON.WIND_DIRECTION, T592_NOON.IFO_MAIN, T592_NOON.IFO_BOILER, T592_NOON.IFO_AUXENGINE FROM T592_NOON WHERE (((SHIP_CODE)='S271') AND (REPORT_DATE BETWEEN to_date('08/02/2004 13:00:00', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI') and to_date('28/02/2004 18:15:00', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI')))
Whenever I run it it errors and returns:
SQL execution error, ORA-01843: not a valid month
Can anyone tell why this wouldnt work?
REPORT_DATE type is DATE
REPORT_DATE Sample data: 2003-04-28-12.00.00.000000

Changing the format of the date seemed to fix it.
Incorrect: '08/02/2004 13:00:00'
Correct: '08-FEB-2004 13:00'

Date error ORA-01843: not a valid month

Hi,
I am in a 4.01 Apex environment with NLS_DATE_FORMAT mm/dd/yyyy. I created a view with a CASE statements using 'when eventstartdate between '08/15/2010' and '06/1/2011' then...' clauses and the view is created fine. I also can query the view with no problem with SQL workshop and the CASE statements work as expected. When I create an interactive report on that view I keep getting ORA-01843: not a valid month. I even tried matching the format in the Interactive Report column format mask to the NLS format for the date and still get error.
What seems especially strange to me is that even if I have the view column defined with a 'to_char' I still get the same error when I use the CASE statement to build the view. Doesn't the Interactive Report just 'see' the View column definitions-- why should it 'care' how the view was built?
The only way I can get the View to work with an Interactive report in any manner is to remove all the CASE statements and define the 'eventstartdate' as text using to_char but that then eliminates my ability to do any filters that require date comparisons with between or '>', '<'.
Help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Pat

Quick late night response - always convert your dates for comparison. Apples to apples
Instead of between '01/31/2012', use either
TO_DATE('01/31/2012', 'MM/DD/YYYY')or
DATE '2012-01-31'More related info

ORA-01843 Not a valid month Error

Dear all,
We did a database upgrade from 9.2.0.1 to 11gR2 and after that everything is working fine.
But now we noticed that the users are getting ORA-01843 Not a valid month Error.
I changed the NLS_DATE_FORMAT in the init.ora file, but still the error persist.
As a work around I changed the NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD-MM-YYYY on the client pc registry and now its working in that pc..
Is there any other way so that the change gets affected globally ??
Any tips
Thanks in adv,
Mahesh

MaheshNLS_DATE_FORMAT can be set in multiple places, but it's not an either/or situation. Setting it in an init parm at the db level is the WEAKEST setting. That setting is overridden by the client OS, which in turn can be overridden by an ALTER SESSION, which in turn can be overridden by use of TO_CHAR and TO_DATE at the individual sql statement. and if the date is being entered by a human at a keyboard (actually keyed in, not picked from a calendar tool or some sort of drop-down pick list) you really have no direct control over the format of the string they key in. So ultimately it is up to the application to insure that character strings presented as dates are in the correct format.
Which is why I advise developers to ALWAYS use to_char and to_date at the sql statement level. It is the only way they can insure control over the setting.

ORA-01843: not a valid month in sql loader

Hi. I am trying to insert time data into date column type and getting this one message ORA-01843: not a valid month.
My ctl configuration as follow:
TIME1 "TO_DATE(SUBSTR(:TIME1,1,19),'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')",
Data nature as follow:
19:43:52.0000000
Any help.
Regards
Irfan

19:43:52.0000000 doesn't match the format picture yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss
perhaps you meant to use something like hh24:mi:ss and substr(:time, 1, 8)
